Women of Westminster
By Mary Beard
ISBN 978-1-788 -31220-2
I loved this book and there was so many women in this book I had never heard of, or had heard off but didn’t know what they were known for.
In a way it annoyed me that I didn’t know about these women, and wanted to know why I didn’t know about them, some I feel definitely should be part of the curriculum, to empower young women.
Rachel wrote the book as a Womens Champion and I loved this.
Since reading the book, at MotherWell we have started the Inspire Me campaign and have showcased most of the women in the book through an online campaign. Our aim is to take this exhibition into schools to enable male and females to know about the great women from politics that have shaped where we are now.
